[Fot] Aluminum Radiators and Electrolysis

[John W]

Really-
In practical use it seems with my experience that Aluminum is a better 
conductor-
I have a 2 row x 1" aluminum radiator that will run circles around any 
copper radiators I've used , including a custom
4 row I had made-  Plus I have a hard time believing a Copper radiator is 
the same weight since I actually weighed mine and saved a ton of weight with 
approximately the same dimensions- Maybe Theory is not all its cracked up to 
be in certain real world applications?
